Governance

Procedures to ensure the robustness of our portfolio allocations and operations:

Trading

  • Human in the loop checks prior to trading to confirm prices, geographic scope, market capitalisation, proportion of cash and total AUM.
  • Daily monitoring against UCITs constraints

Research and Development

  • Initial ideas prototyped and reviewed by the Sanctum Research Committee before further progression.
  • Promising research streams verified using out of sample data for realistic assessment of performance.
  • New methodologies only deployed after sign-off from the Chief Investment officer.
  • Ongoing monitoring of the live performance vs. the back-test performance and any discrepancies investigated.
